ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Acquisition of Tradewinds Television, Inc.

         On September 13, 1996, the Registrant and Tradewinds Television, LLC, a
California  limited  liability company  ("Tradewinds"),  entered into an Interim
Financing and Security  Agreement (the "Security  Agreement")  pursuant to which
Tradewinds  granted the Registrant,  as security for the repayment by Tradewinds
of  certain  loans  to be  made by the  Registrant,  a  first  priority  lien on
substantially  all of  Tradewinds'  assets (the  "Assets").  The Assets  include
accounts  receivable,  the name and mark "Tradewinds  Television," the rights to
the syndicated  television  series "Bounty Hunters" and  distribution  rights to
certain other television  products.  Between September 13, 1996 and November 19,
1996, the Registrant  loaned  Tradewinds an aggregate of approximately  $823,000
(the "Loans") pursuant to the Security Agreement.

         Concurrently  with  the  execution  of  the  Security  Agreement,   the
Registrant  and  Tradewinds  engaged  in  negotiations  pursuant  to  which  the
Registrant would purchase  substantially all of the Assets.  The parties entered
into an Asset  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of October 3, 1996, as amended,  to
provide for such  acquisition.  The sale of the assets was  contingent  upon the
resolution to the  satisfaction of the Registrant of various  bankruptcy  issues
concerning  other  companies  affiliated  with Royeric  Pack,  the sole owner of
Tradewinds.

         On November 14, 1996, the  Registrant  filed a complaint in Los Angeles
Superior Court  asserting that  Tradewinds had defaulted under the Loans and the
Security Agreement,  and seeking judicial foreclosure of the Assets, among other
claims. On December 6, 1996, Tradewinds, in lieu of foreclosure on the Assets by
the  Registrant,  agreed to transfer  and assign to the  Registrant  the Assets,
subject  to certain  payables  associated  therewith,  in  consideration  of the
Registrant forgiving the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans. Such indebtedness,
including  accrued  interest and related costs and expenses,  was  approximately
$1,000,000.  Also on December 6, 1996, the Registrant  entered into an Executive
Producer Agreement with Mr.

                                      - 2 -


<PAGE>
Pack,  with  respect to Mr.  Pack  providing  executive  producing  services  in
connection with the Bounty Hunters series. Pursuant to such agreement,  Mr. Pack
received a $75,000 payment on December 6, 1996 for the first production  season,
and is entitled in the second  production season to a fee of $3,000 per episode,
payable upon airing of each such episode.

         On December 17, 1996, the Registrant  agreed with the Trustee of Action
Media Group,  Inc., a company  affiliated with Mr. Pack and which is the subject
of a bankruptcy court proceeding ("AMG"), to pay $275,000 to the Trustee of AMG,
and to secure in  exchange a release of certain  claims by the  Trustee  and AMG
against  Tradewinds  and the  Registrant  with  regard to  indebtedness  owed by
Tradewinds to AMG and the  assignment of Assets by Tradewinds to the  Registrant
in lieu of  foreclosure,  as described  above.  On December 18, 1996,  the Court
having  jurisdiction  over the AMG bankruptcy  proceeding  approved the $275,000
payment and release among AMG, Tradewinds and the Registrant.

         An order to this effect (the  "Settlement  Order") was entered  into on
January 14, 1997. The Trustee  subsequently  filed a motion seeking to amend the
Settlement Order to carve out from the release certain  unspecified  liabilities
owed by Tradewinds to third parties including AMG. On March 7, 1997, this motion
was denied.  The  Registrant  expects  that the Trustee will execute the release
shortly.  The $275,000  payment will be made by the  Registrant  upon receipt of
such release.

         The loans made to Tradewinds by the  Registrant  and the $275,000 to be
paid  to  the  Trustee  of  AMG  are  from  internally  generated  funds  of the
Registrant.

                  AFFINITY ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS
                            AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1996


(1)      On December 6, 1996,  the Company  acquired  certain assets and related
         liabilities  as an Assignment of Collateral in lieu of foreclosure on a
         note between the Company and Tradewinds Television, LLC ("Tradewinds").
         The  Company  had  previously   advanced   approximately   $823,000  to
         Tradewinds  to purchase  certain  assets of  Tradewinds.  The pro forma
         adjustments  reflect the effects of the assets acquired and liabilities
         assumed  which have been  accounted  for using the  purchase  method in
         accordance with APB Opinion No. 16.

(2)      The  adjusted  net loss per  common  share is based  upon the  weighted
         average number of shares of the Company outstanding.

(3)      The fair value of the consideration  given by the Company to Tradewinds
         Television, LLC equaled $823,000. The excess of the consideration given
         over the net book value of the assets, net of the liabilities acquired,
         of Tradewinds  were  allocated to the  programming  capitalized  costs,
         thereby increasing the programing costs by $1,021,000.
